President Trump’s family is far from pleased that someone with Tiger Woods’ issues is driving around his grandchildren, a family insider told the Post in the aftermath of the golf legend’s DUI arrest in Jupiter Island, Florida.
“There would be concern if their kids weren’t being protected by Secret Service,” the source told The Post.
Donald Trump, Jr. has five children with former wife Vanessa Trump, who is dating the troubled golf pro, 50. The oldest, Kai, is 17, while their youngest, Chloe Sophia Trump, is 11.

The agents are “certainly not letting Tiger Woods – even without the DUI” drive the kids, the source said.
Members of the president’s immediate family all enjoy around-the-clock federal protection, which extends until six months after he leaves office in 2029.
That puts them under watch of armed, trained agents who are prohibited from drinking on the job or engaging in other behaviors which would endanger protectees.
President Trump called Woods a friend and spoke about “difficulty” the golf pro was experiencing, speaking to reporters as he arrived in Miami Friday to appear at the Saudi-backed Future Investment Initiative Priority Summit.
“I feel so badly. He’s got some difficulty. There was an accident and that’s all I know. Very close friend of mine. He’s an amazing person, amazing man. But some difficulty,” Trump told reporters in Miami.
Trump has golfed with Woods and hosted him at the White House.

Woods’ earlier DUI came in 2017 when he was found unconscious behind the wheel of his running car. The golf great appeared glassy eyed in the mugshot released by police.
Sources told The Post Vanessa Trump and Kai were both far from the scene at the time of the accident.
Woods passed a Breathalyzer following the accident but refused to provide a urine sample.
Police said he appeared “lethargic” and showed “signs of impairment” and appeared to be on “some type of medication or drug.”
